HC Deb 29 July 1926 vol 198 c2311
59. Mr. BOOTHBY

asked the Minister of Agriculture when he expects to be in a position to announce the details of the Government schemes for short-term and long-term agricultural credits?

Mr. GUINNESS

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to a similar question put to me by my hon. Friend the Member for Lichfield (Mr. Roy Wilson) on the 1st instant, a copy of which I am sending to him.

Mr. BOOTHBY

May I ask who is holding up the publication of these details? Is it the farmers, or the banks, or both?

Mr. GUINNESS

It is not usual to announce the details of legislation till the Bill is introduced.
